The Sennheiser MD 421 KOMPAKT Microphone is a versatile tool suitable for a range of studio and live applications. It incorporates the same cardioid dynamic microphone element found in the original 421, which has gained acclaim in the recording and broadcasting sectors. However, it is designed in a more compact form factor, featuring an improved mounting clip that facilitates easier positioning, particularly on drum kits. Its reduced size also contributes to a lower profile, making it an excellent choice for podcasting purposes.

 

 

A Versatile Performer

The MD 421 KOMPAKT is not only exceptional for capturing drums, but its capacity to manage high sound pressure levels and a frequency range of 30 Hz to 17 kHz also affords it considerable versatility. Engineers frequently employ this microphone for various vocal and instrumental applications, including guitar cabinets and brass instruments. It provides a reliable signal response across a practical range, ensuring consistent vocal reproduction whether the source is close or at a slight distance. This feature is particularly advantageous for podcasting and broadcasting scenarios, enabling announcers and DJs to move without the necessity of remaining perfectly still. Additionally, the MZH drum clamp, sold separately, conveniently attaches to the mounting clip, allowing for secure placement of the microphone directly onto toms and snares for accurate positioning.

Dynamic Capsule with Cardioid Polar Pattern

The MD 421 KOMPAKT is equipped with a dynamic capsule capable of managing high sound pressure levels, rendering it ideal for loud instruments. Furthermore, it boasts an extensive frequency range, enhanced by an internal bass tube that improves low-end response, resulting in a tone that is both rich and balanced, with clarity across the full spectrum. The cardioid polar pattern effectively minimizes off-axis sound, thereby reducing the capture of ambient room acoustics and noise, as well as limiting bleed from other instruments and feedback from nearby monitors.
